Lloyd Belladonna wants to become a soldier, but he’s the weakest boy in his village. He moves to the big city to join the military academy, not realizing that the people of his village are incredibly strong compared to outsiders.

Lloyd manages to somehow fail the test, sending those who are already aware of his strengths scrambling to figure out what went wrong.

Marie saves Lloyd from a terrible fate by stopping the fight between him and Allan, and reveals her true identity to Chrome. Marie and Chrome decide to execute Marie’s plan to stop the kingdom from going to war.

Marie faces off against the culprit that took over the king’s body to drive the kingdom towards war. Meanwhile, Lloyd finds the courage to go against Marie’s own wishes to go and assist her.

Peace returns to the kingdom. Lloyd, still oblivious to his strengths, continues to support his friends in any way he feels he can. Seeing Riho get depressed after meeting an old acquaintance, Lloyd devises a plan to cheer her up.

The magic contest is on! Selen faces Phyllo, Lloyd fights Mena, and Riho is prepared to settle her old grudge with Rol.

Selen successfully argues that taking Lloyd out on a lovey-dovey date is somehow beneficial for everyone. As they proceed with their “investigation,” Kikyou the spy, believing Lloyd is the unwitting culprit, approaches from the shadows.

Witnesses report a huge snake monster in a dungeon near the city. The king sends the cadets to investigate. However, Alka, Micona, and the mysterious man Sou all get involved for their own reasons.

Alka takes Lloyd and his friends back to the village of Kunlun to restore Vritra to his original form. The visitors get a glimpse of the superhuman life of a Kunlun resident.

Eug begins performing the suspiciously delicious-looking ritual to bring Vritra back to his full, stable form. However, things don’t seem to be going exactly as Eug claims.

Lloyd rescues Alka from Eug’s trap and rushes back to Azami. Eug, Sou and Shoma put their plan in motion, but Marie, Riho, Selen and the others take a stand to resist them.
